Lizzie came up with a divisibility test for a certain number :\(m\)

Break a positive integer \(n\) into two-digit chunks, starting from the ones place. (For example, the number \( 354764\) would break into the two-digit chunks \(64,47,35\) )

Find the alternating sum of these two-digit numbers, by adding the first number, subtracting the second, adding the third, and so on. (In our example, this alternating sum would be \(64-47+54=52.\))

Find m and show that this is indeed a divisibility test for m (by showing that n is divisible by m if and only if the result of this process is divisible by m).

Try writing out the number in decimal.

hi this is the same person who wrote the question is it correct that as if you do this process with any multiple of 101 you get 0 and as you can divide any number by 0 that is the answer?
